See Jupiter from Riverbend Park

Mark your calendar: The Riverbend Park Astronomy Festival is March 9.

With no moonlight and dark skies, Riverbend Park will be a great spot to see Jupiter in March.

The park’s Astronomy Festival includes star (and planet) gazing, stories and snacks and is scheduled for 7 – 9 p.m. March 9, weather permitting.

Attendees will be able to look at Jupiter through the park’s Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and be able to learn about constellations visible that night.
